Talk:GUI/Getting Started
From TDN
It would be good to have a tips and tricks section for the GUI, specifically for the content creation in terms of art and tricks with the profiles. For example, I'd like to write a little thing about how to setup your profiles to have invisle buttons that use text (with a specific font) for the menu, so they look like normal text (but are buttons - aha!). This would be a good tip for some.

how to change refresh rate
in platformWin32\winOGLVideo.cc on or around line 790:
devMode.dmPelsWidth = newRes.w; devMode.dmPelsHeight = newRes.h; devMode.dmBitsPerPel = newRes.bpp; // set the display frequency (refresh rate) devMode.dmDisplayFrequency = 85; // notify the devmode that displayfrequency has been set devMode.dmFields = DM_PELSWIDTH | DM_PELSHEIGHT | DM_BITSPERPEL | DM_DISPLAYFREQUENCY;
This will set the refresh rate to 85. In my version I appended an additional param to the $Pref::Video::Resolution attribute in the prefs.cs script:
$Pref::Video::Resolution = "800 600 32 85";
